SUMMER YOUTH EXPERIENCES

Summer Calendar

Summer experiences open our eyes to witnessing God already at work in the world, while experiencing life alongside others in the communities to which we are sent. We don’t serve to save or fix others; we serve out of love for our neighbor — who just might come in the form of a stranger — because it is our response to what God has already done in Jesus Christ. This summer, a menu of experiences are available to help us encounter Jesus in the midst of caring and mutual relationships.

Questions? Contact Erin Swenson-Hatzung, Director of Youth and Family Ministry.

During a week in Benton Harbor, our group will partner with local organizations to serve the city across age and racial divides. In the evenings, our group will tour the community and learn about the fine arts revitalization in Benton Harbor from a community friend. You’ll also have the opportunity to experience local BBQ, visit a Lake Michigan beach, and explore Benton Harbor’s sister city, St. Joseph.
